    The story

    Jenny and Sam just moved into their dream home, but their blissful newlywed phase takes a chilling turn. Jenny becomes convinced their new place is haunted by a presence that manifests every night at 2:22 am. Her husband Sam, a staunch skeptic, dismisses her concerns. To fuel the fire, tensions rise when they host an old friend and her partner, reigniting the debate between believer and doubter. As the clock inches closer to the witching hour of 2:22 am, unexplained events escalate, leaving the audience questioning reality itself. Will Jenny uncover the truth about the haunting, or will her sanity crumble under the pressure?

    Amazing acting, nice story. I might have guessed the end correctly, but it was still fascinating to see the small clues adding up. Very much recommended!

    the support team was awesome but the play was very boring the acting was terrible and the plot was, so simple. The theater as an architecture and the support crew very good.

    Great performance, good actors with tension building all the time interspersed with a good amount of humour. I booked the tickets without knowing anything about the play, one of my best recent decisions. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
